    “American” is hardly an ethnicity (except maybe if you are referring to native Americans of course), so this has nothing to do with racism. Secondly I assume the author of the comment is refering to the simple fact that the terms “liberal” and “conservative” have drastically different connotations in Europe and the US.

      They also have drastically different connotations in America depending on whether the user can read a book.

        I think it’s a higher bar of actually reading one. Only around 20% of Americans read a book, any book, within the ages 18-29.
